SMOKESCREEN 2026 | Being John Malkovich

Description

SMOKESCREEN Join us for our final film for the 2026 Season of Smokescreen at the WPCC Saturday, 7th November. This year’s theme is 'Breaking the Reel'. The selected films celebrates the transformative power of actors and directors who defy expectations, break free from typecasting, and reinvent themselves in groundbreaking ways. This year’s Smokescreen will feature connected pairings of films, which highlight a specific transformative aspect of ‘Breaking the Reel’. This week’s film focuses on the second example of ‘Serious to Silly’; which features established ‘serious' actors, actresses and directors taking a chance in displaying their sillier side. The surrealist fantasy comedy ‘Being John Malkovich’ takes director Spike Jonze’s first foray into feature film directing, Cameron Diaz' unglamourous character and the ‘serious’ actor John Malkovich taking himself very unseriously, in asking the question ‘What would you do if you could live inside John Malkovich’s head?' Run Time: 1 hr 52 mins Classification: R Tickets are $15 or grab your season pass and see all 10 films for $75 In partnership with The Establishment Bar Dubbo.
